FAQ

Why is my poke cake soggy?

Typical poke cake can become soggy for a few different reasons: Your poke cake filling is too liquidy. If you don’t want your cake to be soggy, make sure you use a pudding-based filling that your cake won’t absorb too quickly. There are too many holes in your poke cake.

What’s the best way to poke holes in a cake?

Use a very wide straw or the end of a small spoon to poke holes all over the top of the cake going all the way down to the bottom of the pan.

When were poke cakes popular?

When was Jello Poke Cake popular? This cake was super popular in the 1980s. The consensus on the cake was that it was an easy dessert that can be made ahead of time. It didn’t hurt that it used just three products (cake mix, gelatin, and whipped topping) that were easy to get at any grocery store.

When was poke cake invented?

Poke cakes popped up in American kitchens around 1970, first appearing in a print advertisement intended to increase Jell-O sales. The ad illustrated the quick-and-easy cleverness of combining convenience foods – cake mix, Jell-O, and Dream Whip or Cool Whip – to create hip and mod desserts.
